Weekend Trip to Lazy Rooster Ranch

Pictures do not do this place justice! The river is directly behind the tent, so it was perfect to fall asleep to the sound of the water! Community kitchen area has everything you need from seasonings, a grill, even a super neat pizza oven! 100000% recommend this gem of a place. There’s even a trail to walk to downtown if you’re feeling up to it!

We absolutely loved our time here! Beautiful, private, and plenty of room to wander with the dog. Tanya and Stacy are amazingly friendly and accommodating; we would definitely stay again if we were ever going to be in the area.
